Extractions: Back to main Health Information page Corpus callosum of the brain Definition: Aicardi syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by infantile spasms (jerking), absence of the corpus callosum (the connection between the two hemispheres of the brain), mental retardation, and lesions of the retina of the eye or optic nerve. Causes And Risk: The cause of Aicardi syndrome is unknown at this time, but is presumed to be a genetic disorder carried on the X-chromosome in some cases and a random, sporadic mutation in others. There are less than 500 cases of Aicardi worldwide. Symptoms: Children are most commonly diagnosed with Aicardi Syndrome between the ages of three months and five months, if they meet the following criteria: Female sex (or XXY genotype male) Retinal lacunae lesions of the retina Seizures typically beginning as infantile spasms, a type of epileptic disorder in infants Absence of the corpus callosum (complete or partial)

Extractions: Le syndrome d'Aicardi est une anomalie du développement caractérisée par une agénésie du corps calleux, des anomalies rétiniennes, des convulsions et un retard de développement mental. Son mode d'hérédité est dominant lié à l'X. Il serait donc létal dans le sexe masculin Quelques très rares cas de syndrome d'Aicardi ont été observés chez des garçons ayant une formule chromosomique 47,XXY. Il ne semble pas exister de différence appréciable de sévérité ou d'évolution par rapport aux cas féminins. *Auteur : Dr S. Aymé (juillet 2003)*.

Other characters Aicardi's syndrome, (J Aicardi, 20th century, French neurologist), X-linked dominant disorder consisting of infantile spasms, callosal agenesis or hypogenesis, chorioretinopathy, and an abnormal EEG. The syndrome occurs almost exclusively in females with no family history of ophthalmological or neurological disease. Affected patients must have two X chromosomes, so that patients with Kleinfelter's syndrome (47 XXY) can also have it. Intracranial anomalies include callosal hypogenesis ( Fig.1 ) (typically associated with interhemispheric cysts), grey matter heterotopia cortical dysplasia , posterior fossa cysts, cerebellar hypoplasia, choroid plexus papillomas , and microphthalmia. Ophthalmologic examination reveals characteristic chorioretinal lacunae, resulting from retinal dysplasia, and ocular colobomata. Myelination may be delayed. MR examination clearly demonstrates all these features.

If you, or anybody close to you, is affected, or believe to be affected, by any condition mentioned here: see a doctor. Characteristic malformation syndrome which appear in females only (males - intrauterine death), with progrediating psychomotor deterioration. Infantile spasms, which may become manifest between 1 day and 4 months of age, epileptic attacks; typical bowing of the head (salaam seizures), agenesis of the corpus callosum, costovertebral anomalies, mental abnormalities, and hypotonia. Ocular changes include microphthalmia, eyelid twitching, absent pupillary reflexes, and funnel-shaped disks. Etiology unknown. Current theories include congenital infection, an X-linked genetic defect, and an intrauterine environmental agent. Poor prognosis. Aicardi first described the disorder in two girls. In the years that followed he was able to accumulate more cases, all of whom were females. His senior colleague, professor Jacques Lefebre, a co-author of an earlier abstract, encouraged him to delineate the new syndrome and in 1969 a full account was published in the French literature.

Extractions: Syndrome très rare, qui touche essentiellement le sexe féminin, et associant une agénésie calleuse (absence totale ou partielle de la partie réunissant les deux hémisphères cérébraux constituant le cerveau, et constituée de substance blanche) avec un retard mental et une microcéphalie (taille du crâne inférieure à la normale) qui s'accuse avec le temps. L'échographie faite pendante la grossesse permet de détecter les modifications du volume du crâne qui accompagnent parfois l'agénésie du corps calleux. Elle montre d'autre part l'écartement des ventricules cérébraux, tout particulièrement dans la région occipitale c'est-à-dire vers l'arrière du crâne. Après la naissance, l'échographie visualise l'orientation particulière des sillons de la face interne des hémisphères cérébraux. Ces sillons ont une disposition qualifiée de radiaire.
